Say Hello to My Little Friend… A Black-and-Yellow Garden Spider 10

All, Photo Gallery, The G'Morning Shot, Wildlife • Tags: , , , ,

I look up at the wall next to one of the outdoor lights last night, and notice this beautiful little creature. She is approximately three inches (leg span) and quite colorful. I am not a fan of arachnid’s, nor any insect for that matter, but seeing that she is a Black-and-Yellow Garden Spider, Argiope aurantia, and helping to catch bugs, she is more than welcome to hang out – literally.

Three female mannequins on a desert hillside. Clothed, semi-nude, and nude. Sounds like Playboy Magazine to me….

Madrid NM is a very interesting desert town. At one time it was a booming mining community – then it died. In the mid 1970′s, the town was actually listed for sale somewhere around $250,000. No one bought it. Since then, it has slowly come back to life and is now an artists community. Some hippies, as some I talked to specifically refer to themselves as, and those who just prefer to keep to themselves. I love it there. I suppose this is one artist’s creation here. Definitely unique.

Graffiti artist:
Not sure, but rumored to be Banksy.
Doesn’t quite look like his work in my opinion, though.

UPDATE: June 28 2012 – Yes, this is Banksy. Per Oddee website:

“Graffiti artist Banksy notably altered a billboard in Los Angeles prior to the Academy Awards in February 2011, in hopes of calling attention to the nomination of his documentary ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop.’ A rather lecherous Micky Mouse, cocktail in hand, was painted onto an existing billboard along with a drugged-out Minnie Mouse and a banner reading, ‘Living the Dream.’ It was quickly removed.”

The piece features Union Jack flags draped across the wall and applied to the artist’s signature stencil of a child working on a sewing machine. Created in line with the royal Diamond Jubilee celebration to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 60-year reign, it’s said that the piece hopes to put spotlight on child labor issues.

Banksy’s gonna have a heyday with the summer Olympics going on in London.
